College HSC is in top two

Brisbane Water Secondary College Woy Woy Campus has been recognised as being in the top two best performing schools in HSC, across the whole Central Coast.

Following the release of Higher School Certificate results, the Department of Education analysed them to determine how students progressed over Years 10 to 12.

The department looked at the Basic Skills Tests (Year 3 and 5), the ELLA and SNAP tests (Year 7 and 8) and the School Certificate to predict levels of achievement.

Principal Mr David Beattie said the result was a significant event and a real cause for celebration.

"The Year 12 group of last year came together in Year 10 and really worked hard to achieve some good results," Mr Beattie said.

"I am also pleased to say that all students that wanted to go to University got accepted, the same with TAFE and the same with those seeking jobs."

Umina Campus principal Mr Frank Gasper also commented on the results.

"This was an outstanding result on one of the Department of Educations chief indicators of school achievement," Mr Gasper said.

"It was a clear indication that the College is starting to achieve the results we hoped for when it was established in 2002."

Last year more than 98 per cent of all Year 9 students moved to the senior campus.

Mr Beattie said it was a great result that reflects a great effort.
